OK, it has been pointed out to me that I haven't posted in nearly three months. Every now again, when I'm walking down the street or something, I'll have an idea of something that I'd like to share here. But by the time I eventually get home I've lost it.
A lot has happened. My new living quarters are starting to shape up into a, well, livable space. I've got a new job I'm excited about. I'm socializing a lot more. My birthday's coming up. I've still got a couple of years until the big 3-0. I'm receptive to romance, which I haven't been in a while. So let's see where this path takes me for a bit.
The final Harry Potter book arrives this Saturday. It'll be my first (and last) book of the series that I'll get to read at the same time that everyone else will. I'm pretty excited about that. I was just as blasé about the books as the next person, back when friends were urging me to read it. But it's just a kids book, I thought to myself. Anyway, it took me a while, I started very gradually, but two years ago I was upto the fourth book. By the time I finished it, I was suddenly hooked. I went on to read the fifth and sixth in the series, which has just been released. I got into all the theorizing and everything. Now I'm completely excited about the final book, and doing my best to avoid most media outlets for as long as it takes for me to read and enjoy the book.
I also saw the fifth film in the movie franchise recently. I thought it was an effective adaptation, right up there with the third movie. My least favorite is the fourth, even though it has some wonderful comic relief, because it falls so short on so many critical points. I'd like to check out the new movie in IMAX 3D some time this week, too. Any other Potter fans out there?

HUGE Potter fan here. I'm soooooooooo psyched for the last book! I'm picking it up at the bookstore at 12:01 am, and prolly staying up really really late reading it.
Haven't been able to catch the 5th movie yet 'cuz I had to move this weekend. :( Will see it soon. Looking fwd to it; the 5th book has a special place in my heart because I feel Harry's shaping up to become a *teacher* of all things. Teachers rock. ;)

I too like the fourth movie the least, I found it the worst adaptation of them all. And it also took me a while to get into the mania. I don't think I began reading the books until the third one had come out.
